or its Secretary look into this case of
brutality and partiality? Not much.
Why? Because the prison is merely
their political partisans. By the by, the
talk of this board and their secretary
about non partizanship in running State
institutions is all bosh, and simply
means: When Republicans are in con-
troll, keep them in; when Democrats
are in control, get them out as soon as
possible. Their actions show this to be
the case. How much longer will Dem
ocrats vote money to keep it up? Not
much longer, we hope.
NOTES.
The Columbus Times Thursday pub
lished that the Republican Senators on
Tuesday evening, when Senator Law
renee made the motion to adjourn, after
the adoption ofthe resolutions ofrespect
to the late Senator Schneider, passed
the word from one to another to vote
against the resolution, as SCHNEIDER
was nothing but id Catholic" The
Republican Senators deny that they
said that and committee of investiga-
ton has been appointed on their mo-
ton.
Some people wonder why Col. Fred.
Banker is kept in continuously-under
all Administrations Third Assistant
Sergeant-at-Arms of the House. To
those who are here to see, the reason is
very plain. The Col. knows no poll
tics, and treats all the members with
the same courtesy and gentility; and
knowing everything as he does about
legislation, the legislative wheels run
smooth by his particular attention to
details. He will be continued in his
present position as long as he desires the
place.
The celebrated Albaugh school bill
passed the House last Wednesday by q
vote of SO to 36. This bill gives the peo-
pie of the townships the same opportu-
mites of having graded schools that are
now enjoyed by the cities and larger
towns.
The past was big week for Conven-
tions. The State Agricultural, County
Commissioners and County Surveyors
were all held in this city. The men,
bers were kept busy in showing their
constituents the Capital attractions.
) A great many at the Capitol are
enquiring, whether Foraker appoint
ed one Loomis to act as State Librarian
and attend strictly to the duties of his
office, or to write slush and slang fol
the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
, Former occupants of that Office, such as
Timson, Hood, Harbaugh, Kew anG
others, found the duties of the office a.
much as they could attend to. There
should be law that no State Officer
and State employers would be permit
ted to write for newspapers for pay.
An effort is being made by interested
parties to have the office of Secretary
: of the Penitentiary abolished. Tha
officer is the watch dog of that institu
ton, and he prevents collusion between
other officials.
: The Democratic Senators last Friday
8 morning presented Miss Nellie
O'Hagan, the late engrossing clerk o
{ the Senate, witha fine diamond ring
g as mark of their esteem and respec
0 for her. The presentation speech wa
t made by Senator O'Neill.
Although no resolution has yet beer
s adopted by both Houses, to have tri
0 weekly adjournments, the House ad
journed at p. m. The Senate was il
session all day Friday, but at the clos
of that days session adjourned to th'
e same hour the House did.
